The Bills of Materials alone is 500$. This doesn't include of course R&D, software and assembly.
You know costs tend to levitate a bit when you have an army of 6 figures wage developers working on your updates for 8 years. Surely more costly than some Indian community member on some forum cooking a ROM update in his basement.
You are a pretty uninformed armchair analyst.

You don't know the concept of an illustrative example, do you? Android phones don't cost $300 either. Pepsi doesn't sell 1000 cans and make $0.25 per can. Those are example figures for your feeble mind to recognize mathematical concepts.
But who am I talking to, an apple fanboy. Logic isn't applicable here. If you believe Samsung and Google don't have 6 figure wage developers but instead use community ROMs, then you are far more ignorant than i initially assumed.
